IF the Saudis want to do something about it, we’ll be happy to sell them the weapons and ammo. Let the Moslems kill each other.
If DJT is half the negotiator I think he is we might end up owning some of the oil and some of the oilfield.
That might be the price for saving them from Iran.
We get permanent bases and part ownership of the whole shebang. The Saudis might go along since having a US base would deter attacks.
And yes, I remember Khobar Towers. These bases would be much better defended.
Donald Trump was elected by a lot of people who have been outraged at the idea of the U.S. military serving as mercenaries for Islamic royal families. Hell, that’s probably the single biggest reason why Jeb Bush was less popular than a child molester during the 2016 primaries.
Part of the reason we invaded Iraq was that the Saudis were kicking us out of Saudi Arabia.
I don’t think ownership of some of their oil fields would be a good deal for us. That area is a dumpster fire. Let the Saudis do the bleeding.
